Was it all 3 of those colors? Or are you just unsure what to call the color?

The 318ti was offered in "Techno Violet" (purple) and "Violet Schwartz" (dark purple), but I think that was in Canada and not the US. Given that you're in the Northeast, it's very possible that you saw a Canadian car.

I wasn't on Contee, but I was on 197 at about 930a. And I was driving a blue/violet ti.

I saw an avusblau ti active on 175 in Columbia westbound at about 1245, and then again the same car on Dobbin rd at about 230.

Light purple, gray trim? I've seen one @ the Cherry Hill shopping complex, near shoppers.
